|December 25, 2025
Researchers have found that consuming just one drink a day significantly increases the risk of oral cavity cancer, which is prevalent in India.
The findings become more significant as we celebrate Christmas and gear up for New Year's Eve when alcohol consumption surges.
Conducted by the Centre for Cancer Epidemiology at ACTREC, Kharghar - part of the Tata Memorial Centre the study stressed that there is no safe level of alcohol intake when it comes to the development of oral cancer.
Published in the open access journal BMJ Global Health, the comparative study analysed 3,706 men between 2010 and 2021, including 1,803 confirmed cases of buccal mucosa (inner cheek) cancer and 1,903 disease-free individuals.
